Best Bacon Recipes for Football Season

Football. Bacon. Yeah, this post is about sports. And meat. It’s not hard to please a football fan on game day. Give us bacon, cheese, fat, salt, carbs, beer and alcohol. It’s not too difficult.

Maybe it’s just me, and I don’t know if Martha Stewart or Pinterest is to blame (maybe it’s a combination of both). But there’s too much stuff out there, giving people ideas and taking game day food to a whole ‘nother level. Take this edible stadium for example.

These awesome bacon recipes are suitable for game day, your next fantasy football meeting, and Super Bowl Sunday. Because I think we’re all in agreement that bacon should be plentiful on game day! Some of these are standard football food fare, and some are items that you should consider adding to your next game day spread. Like more BACON!
